a. Course Description

The course begins with the introduction to Basic concepts of programming and its applications in
numerous fields. After covering fundamentals, students will learn how to apply the more complex
concepts including loops and arrays in order to solve the complex real-world problems.

b. Course Objectives
i. The course aims to provide exposure to problem-solving through programming.
ii. The course aims to raise the programming skills of students via logic building capability.
iii. With knowledge of C programming language, students would be able to model real world problems.

c. Course Outcomes
CO1 Remember the concepts related to fundamentals of C language, draw flowcharts and write
algorithm/pseudocode.
CO2 Understand the way of execution and debug programs in C language.
CO3 Apply various constructs, loops, functions to solve mathematical and scientific problem.
CO4 Analyze the dynamic behavior of memory by the use of pointers.
CO5 Design and develop modular programs for real world problems using control structure and selection structure.
